  - DOMPurify is a DOM-only cross-site scripting sanitizer for HTML, MathML, and SVG. Versions 3.0.1 through
    3.3.3 are vulnerable to a prototype pollution-based XSS bypass. When an application uses
    `DOMPurify.sanitize()` with the default configuration (no `CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING` option), a prior
    prototype pollution gadget can inject permissive `tagNameCheck` and `attributeNameCheck` regex values into
    `Object.prototype`, causing DOMPurify to allow arbitrary custom elements with arbitrary attributes 
    including event handlers  through sanitization. Version 3.4.0 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-41238)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
